Matthew McConaughey was the only returning acting winner who did not walk the carpet at the Oscars last night. So I totally forgot about it. And was actually surprised to see him when he did come out to present Best Actress.
Am trying to decide why they scheduled it that way. Some of you are really excited that they put the Best Actress category after the Best Actor category like it was more important, even though it was also the most obvious. Full Story

Matthew McConaughey is an Oscar winner. You would not have believed this 5 years ago. Maybe even 3 years ago. Back then he was synonymous with Kate Hudson. Back then he was good for taking his shirt off, thank you Matt Damon.
If Matthew McConaughey can win an Oscar… why not, someday, Channing Tatum?
After all, Channing Tatum, at this stage in his career, and at this age, is much more directed about his choices than McConaughey was at the same point. Full Story

On Monday I wrote about PEOPLE’s Sexiest Man Alive for 2014. Click here for a refresher. In short, I thought it would probably be either Matthew McConaughey or Chris Pratt, given the year that both have had.
PEOPLE just released its cover for this week. Full Story

It’s November. Very soon, PEOPLE will announce the new Sexiest Man Alive. Which means that very soon, Adam Levine will have to take his sash off and give it to someone else. GOOD.

In years past, I’ve handicapped the Sexiest Man Alive feature, with a dozen or so possible candidates, ending on a prediction. Last year was totally unpredictable. There is no way I would have gotten that one right – even now, if I could go back, KNOWING it would be him, I still couldn’t do it.

Not sure if we’ll be doing the SMA forecast this time though because, well, in my opinion, I think it might be too obvious. Like the year it was Channing Tatum, you remember? It was 2012. He’d just come off The Vow, Magic Mike, and 21 Jump Street. Had to be him. Impossible for it to have been anyone else. Read Full Intro

First a reminder: Reese Witherspoon’s husband, Jim Toth, is Matthew McConaughey’s agent. Together, he and McConaughey engineered what’s now known as the McConaissance. Perhaps the same game plan is now in place for Reese. Like McConaughey, what Reese is offering is supposed to be a lot more varied and nuanced than what we saw in How To Legally Blonde A Guy In Ten Days. Full Story

The premiere happened tonight.
Let’s talk about the outfit of the week – and the person wearing it isn’t even in the movie, holy SH-T Camila Alves! It’s a cape and it’s white. You almost can’t go wrong. But then it’s also a pantsuit? Never mind the week, this might be one of the best looks of the year. Full Story

I thought it was a pretty strong Saturday Night Live this weekend hosted by Jim Carrey. The sketches were weird if they weren’t funny, with a kind of random silliness that I found really…appealing. And his Matthew McConaughey accent is RIGHT ON. The fact that it was a 3 part series, with Jim getting increasingly ridiculous with his Just Keep Living rambling, made it even better. Full Story

I just read an interview at the New York Times with Jessica Chastain, Matthew McConaughey, and Anne Hathaway. They’re promoting Interstellar. As you’d expect, McConaughey manages to drop the “Prime Mover” into the discussion again. Naturally.
Nothing super gossipy here, just a few interesting observations. Full Story

Matthew McConaughey received the American Cinematheque Award last night in Hollywood and it was a strong turnout. The timing is great too. Not only because he’s winning everything (but the Emmy), but also because Interstellar comes out soon, one of most highly anticipated films of the year. Of over a year. Full Story

Has anyone had a run like Matthew McConaughey has had the last few years? He’s transformed his career, won an Oscar, and gone from stock rom-com alpha male to one of the biggest and most in demand actors in the world. And he’s done it without seeming to change anything about his persona. Full Story

Anne Hathaway covers UK ELLE in advance of the release of Interstellar, expected to be one of the biggest movies of the season. Um. Sarah emailed me the other telling me it’s over 2 hours and 45 minutes…WHAT??? See that’s going to take an entire day of planning for me. To be able to accommodate an almost 3 hour movie, everything else has to be moved around. Full Story

So it was confirmed yesterday that Matthew McConaughey will not return for Magic Mike 2. The storyline is apparently a road trip, and either he wasn’t invited, or he didn’t want to get in the car. I’m thinking…he didn’t want to get in the car.

Channing Tatum will be back though. And Matt Bomer. And …Joe Meatball. Who keeps posting pictures of his ripped body on Twitter while he’s training for the movie even though I’m not sure he had more than 3 lines in the first one.

Check out Sarah Jessica Parker's fanny pack last night. Matthew McConaughey made headlines a few weeks ago because he was wearing one at a baseball game, remember. Click here for a refresher.
Someone's going to come in right now and be all like, Lainey, that's not a fanny pack, it's a waist pouch. Full Story

Woody Harrelson wore it best last night. I either forgot or never knew in the first place that he could do clothes. But when he walked out my first thought was oh hey now Woody can wear the sh-t out of a pair of pants. Please. The right answer here is that you would totally have sex with Woody Harrelson before Adam Levine. Full Story
